Recently moved from Moto X4 to Samsung A52 5G.
You mean there is no unlock OEM option on your model?There seems to be now way to unlock the bootloader on the SM-A526U.
Everything I tried fails.
When you enable developer options on this model (SM-A526U) the unlock for the bootloader is non existent.
Correct, there is no OEM unlock option for the SM-A526U.
Thanks. Will try these out.This will erase your phone's data so backup first
This will trip knox and prevent alot of samsung apps working
Unlocking Bootloader
1. Enable OEM unlocking in developer options
2. Turn phone off
3. Plug a usb into pc but not phone
4. Hold vol up and down and plug usb into phone
5. Wait for green screen and follow instructions to unlock bootloader (as follows)
5.5. Long press vol up on green screen then press vol up again
Installing magisk
1. Download your firmware from the internet
2. Extract the AP tar.md5 file
3. Place file on root of phone
4. Download and install Magisk (I used Canary)
5. Make sure connected to internet
6. Open Magisk and press the top install (Manager not the app install)
7. Select Install > Select and Patch a File and select the AP file you put on the phone
8. Wait for it to patch and create a new file
9. Find the new file, usually called magisk_patched in your downloads folder, but Magisk would have said what and where on the patching screen when done
10. In Odin flash this new AP file
11. If needed reinstall Magisk app, open it and let it update
To get saftey net to pass I had to use The universal saftey net magisk module found somewhere on this site. I can find it later if needed
Those are the steps I did, hope it helps
I usually use either sammobile or samfw
Reading in to it who is your service provider? Is it T-Mobile? Regardless,it seems your phone needs to either be unlocked by them or a 3rd party. Or you can try to call them and convince them you need the OEM unlock button for work purposes.
If you just bought your phone then wait 7 days
This is incorrect. U.S. phones have their bootloaders hard locked and needs paid service to get it unlocked.

Yeah, but the model " SM-A526U" is U.S. variant. Those cannot be unlocked by normal means.
Thanks, but Health is hidden et health service not in list to hide,You have to activate the Magisk Hide option in the settings, then hide Health app and Health service.
You may have to hide other app if you want other functionalities such as Secure Folder or others...
